Some part are optimze in asm in ros. Rember if u coding right asm is faster that any other langues. BitBlit optimze in some part was done in asm. If any one feel some part can be optimze in asm then do it. But we need also the C function so it can compile on other platforms.

Why all the excitement? Who uses assembler for serious anything these days? Ok in my day I used debug.exe because it came with DOS. Now chip sizes are so large and processors so fast it would be a joke. Today I would use AWK.exe, and if I needed to get tight assembler, compile
it with TAWK.
or Mawk. Then if I were mad enough, hand craft out the redundency, or write another
in AWK program to do it.
You will get more Wow for your effort. If anybody from ros is really in need of assembler then something is sus.
Regards and rosucceed

Wow! Great news! Now let me ask about volunteering to help with the project. I'd like to
get
some experience programming in assembly language and/or machine code. Is there any need for this on the ReactOS project? Can I start on some simple assembly language programming tasks for ReactOS and have someone
that
can guide me through the tough spots? Let me know if I can help in this area. Scott

ReactOS is all-original, written from the ground up as a clone of the Windows design

Debian? If you can, is there a place where I can find instructions

how to do so?
yes, see

No
Can I try installing the program to see how it works?
